No cook crumble, full season flavor

A delicious fruit crumble, fruit crisp if you prefer. Sweetness, fruits, flowers and crunchy cake. And this wonder is ready in 5 minutes. Heaven.

If you want other ideas in the same style :

bananas, chocolate, black sesame almond crisp
Spicy apple crumble

It’s filled with deliciously crisp toki apple and juicy ultra-ripe kaki persimmons.

My baker doesn’t like wasting. Well, he could give them for free, but maybe that’s not convenient. The price is very low. Yes, he sells crumbs. These are some sweet bread crumbs. That’s similar to crumbed digestive biscuits, in tastier.
So that’s ready, but I’m no so lazy. I did hard work :

That took 30 seconds. In the mortar, I reduced to powder some toasted sesame seeds, added the crumbs and pounded slightly to level the big blocks, spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg.

Cut the apple, cover with kaki flesh and then with crumbs.

Add flower petals. Mini chrysanthemum.

Yummy !

La France sur tartelette (pear chocolate no bake pie)

A fresh plant based dessert to showcase the first ラ・フランス (“la France”), that’s how they call these locally cultivated 洋なし yonashi (Western pears).

I made the crust in the blender : half oatmeal, half sesame seeds, enough prune to make a binder. No cooking, let dry in the fridge or shortly in the freezer.

The cream : sesame seeds, cocoa, sweetener, vanilla extract and silky tofu.

Toppings : raw pear slices and a chip of 100% cocoa mass.

Fresh cherry cream pie (no bake)

A little cake, made mostly of fruits, ready in a few minutes. It’s simple and natural. No cooking, no added sugar.
And it tastes really decadent.

The 3 ingredients in equal amounts, pasted into the blender, then shaped in a mold.

Coconut cream plus grated lemon zest.

Fresh cherries. Then powdered cinnamon. That’s all.

Ahem… for a nicer effect, I should have taken away the crust before filling. I broke it apart, but that was still delicious.

Once upon a spoon, 3 little rabbits were transformed into carrot cakes…

Let’s eat a cute little legend…

It looks very cake-like the next day. The carrot has become very soft too. But it’s not cooked. The fairies have visited during the night.

Raw carrot cake :
Grate a carrot. Paste 1/2 cup of sesame seeds with 2 or 3 prunes. Add 1/2 ts cinnamon. 2 tbs of dry coconut. 1/2 lemon juice. Mix. Powder 1/4 cup of sesame seeds and add enough to the mix to get a paste. Form rabbits. Let one night in the fridge.
Frosting :
Whip : 1/3 coconut cream + 2/3 of soy yogurt (homemade). Add vanilla powder, a little lemon juice and sweetener to taste. Let one night into the fridge before spreading.
Moustache :
100 % carrot

Big moustaches are not as elegant as thinner whiskers but I thought about too late…

Voila ! The ogress has caught one. Nom nom…
I’d eat a real rabbit too if I could, but these were yummy.

Le nouveau gâteau truffe au chocolat , with soy yogurt

Not your grandma’s usual yogurt, not her salon de thé ‘s truffe au chocolat. I had no intention to remake them. The cake ended up similar just like that as I was improvising. Lucky !

Freshly made soy yogurt

It’s the greatest soy yogurt for me. Commercial soy yogurt are always on the runny side of creamy, or on the jello side. And the Japanese soy yogurt, oh my, I’d never eat that, it’s over-sweetened and flavored with with stevia that I loath.
This one has a texture of… yogurt. And a taste of soy. It’s perfect.
Don’t skip the sugar, it helps maturation and the result is not sweet at all.

Easy recipe :
-make one liter of thick tonyu soy milk (tutorial)
-in a small cup mix 1 tbs of potato starch, 1/4 of agar, 1/2 cup of soy milk. Cook a few seconds in the micro-wave till its thickens. You get a mess.
-in the blender, mix the warmed soy milk, the cup of starch, 1 tbs of sugar, 2 tbs of store bough soy yogurt
-let overnight in a yogurt maker

Tip : you can take a thermos/thick pot with a lid, place glass bin in the middle, very hot water around…and you have a yogurt maker. I do that for smaller batches.

Freshly made soy ‘Greek’ yogurt.
Drained in a cheese cloth (from the pharmacy), let overnight in the fridge. Drink the whey or use it for cooking, it’s full of healthy probiotics.

Other dairy-like ideas : my diary-free diary.

Now, let’s make the cake : I whip all that to make a chocolate mousse.

A nutty biscuit base (just blend all together).

Composition : the base, a layer of mousse, slices of kumquat, more mousse, cocoa.
The result is really bluffing. That’s not exactly looking like those from the pâtissier‘s, but that’s as close as you dream of getting for some sweet you make like that in 10 minutes. Taste is divine…
